PATNA: CM Nitish Kumar on Saturday evening denied the charge of party president Sharad Yadav that he was indulging in caste-based politics.

In his post on Facebook, Nitish said he was seeking votes on the basis of his performance as chief minister. "I have neither tried to unite a group in the name of religion nor made empty promises. I have never sought votes on the basis of caste," he said. Nitish said he was seeking votes for his achievements of linking villages with roads and building schools and hospitals.

It is easy to play politics by exploiting caste and communal sentiments but I am seeking votes on a positive agenda, the CM said. The BJP has fielded a leader who terrifies people but I broke away with the BJP for a positive agenda, Nitish said. I was not engaged in attractive campaigns and advertisements, sentimental campaign or creating a sense of fear for votes, he said in his FB post.
